Since he has dropped his surname 'Bhavnani', newly wed Ranveer Singh says he needs a new one and jokingly questions 'Why not Padukone?'. The actor married to Deepika Padukone, became the talk of the town, after the news of Singh contemplating adding 'Padukone' to his name went viral. Unlike her contemporaries such as Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, who chose to add their husband's surname, Deepika Padukone hasn't changed to 'Bhavnani'.
When Deepika gave her first ever post-marriage interview to Filmfare, she spoke about calling husband Ranveer, Ranveer Singh Padukone. When asked about changing surnames in a recent interview, she was quoted saying, "It's not true. In fact, after that interview, I realised that it's a conversation (changing surnames) Ranveer and I've never had. So, we haven't been like, 'oh, do you think you should change your surname?' That chat was, of course, a candid joke of sorts. It has never crossed either of our minds. When I was asked about it, I was like, 'oh, we haven't thought about it'. Maybe because it's not important. Also, I've worked extremely hard to create my own identity and so has he. So, my question is, 'why would he have to do that?' I think what people see of us is a very minuscule part of our entire being and existence. But at the core of it, we are very alike."
